Killings is the father of a young boy who was struck by a vehicle on March 24. He and Deonte Baber, 25, are accused in the shooting death of the driver, Jamie Urton, 44.

Urton was gunned down after he accidentally hit a child with his car on Kenton Street in Walnut Hills. Police said he stopped to check on the child after hitting him, and was attacked by Baber and Killings, who both witnessed the crash.

The child was treated at a hospital and released.

A witness described Urton's slaying as merciless, saying he was begging for mercy as the gunman shot him over and over, even after his body fell limp.

“He didn’t mean to do it. He was bawling his eyes out, saying he was sorry, begging for mercy, basically, and they shot him,” said the witness, whom we are not identifying.

Urton worked for the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. A spokesman for the organization said Urton and a co-worker were returning from lunch break when he was killed.

"Everybody loved him. He would walk in with a big smile on his face. He would light up a room," Trisha Faul, a longtime friend of Urton's, said. "He was just a well-rounded, very sweet guy, and would do anything in the world for anybody."

Baber is still at large. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
